South Kings Peak, Mountain summit in Ashley National Forest, Utah, United States.
South Kings Peak rises to an elevation of 13,518 feet within the High Uintas Wilderness, featuring alpine lakes and rocky ridges across the landscape.
Until satellite measurements in 1966, geographic surveys incorrectly designated South Kings Peak as the highest point in Utah instead of nearby Kings Peak.
The summit represents a central point in the High Uintas Wilderness, drawing mountain climbers and researchers who study the alpine ecosystem.
Accessing the peak requires a 32-mile round trip from Henry's Fork Trailhead, with the primary climbing season running from July through September.
The mountain stands as part of the Uinta range, the only major mountain chain in North America that extends in an east-west direction.
